Old-Fashioned
TaffySanta Clara County Council

This
recipe will provide about half a pound of taffy, enough for each member of
the den to have three or four pieces.

1.
First, butter a platter.

2.
Then stir together in a saucepan:

1 cup sugar1/2 cup water1/4 cup light corn syrup1/8 teaspoon salt

Heat
slowly until all sugar is dissolved.Then bring to a boil, stirring constantly.Have a cup of ice water handy.The mixture is full cooked when a small amount forms a hard
ball when dropped into the ice water.

3.
Immediately pour it onto the buttered platter.

4.When the syrup is cool enough to handle
gather it into a ball and pull until it is white and firm.Butter or oil hands lightly for this
operation.Pull taffy into a rope,
twist it, and cut it into pieces with scissors.

5.The taffy can be flavored by adding a
few drops of peppermint, 1teaspoon
of vanilla, or 2 Tablespoons of cocoa just before you start to pull it.
